in obtaining the necessary labor, materials, and subcontractors; That in return
for these services payment in the amount of $250 per week, not to exceed $1000, -
would be rendered. The City Manager recommended that the proposed contract be

CITY OP CLERMONT
MINUTES
Eloctro-Protective Protective Alarms
Transfer (for existing systems) $ 0 � 30
Installation (for now systems) 115
Annual Fee 0il 84
Rates guaranteed for 5 yrs. 5 yrs.
Ha further reported that all costs would be borne by the subscriber, not the
City, and recommended that the proposal from Electro-Protective be accepted inasmuch
as this was an established national firm with good financial backing, had more
Lake County and local service, and had 5 year guaranteed rates.
Messrs. Sheldon and Wright of Electro-Protective and Mr. John Downs of Protective
Alarms, Inc. appeared before the Council to answer questions about their firm's
system. With regards Inquiry from Councilman Schroodel concerning annual fees
to subscribers inasmuch as there were currently no fees charged, City Attorney
Baird opined that inasmuch as these systems were monitored by the Police
Department at no cost to subscribers and this service caused increased liability
on the City wherein extreme legalities could be involved due to the current
inefficient and confusing system, he felt the fees were justified.
Following discussion regarding notification of subscribers of pending action being
taken regarding a centralized alarm unit, wherein City Attorney Baird opined
that It was unnecessary inasmuch as this service was initiated by the subscribers
for their personal security and it was desirous of the City to reduce legal
liabilities, motion was made by Councilman Honey. seconded b Councilman Cole and
unanimously carried that the proposal of Electro-Protect ve be accepted.
JACKSON REQUEST
Mr. Jimmy Lee Jackson appeared before the Council to again discuss lot mowing
of his vacant property, requirements to obtain a liquor license at his business
establishment, and removal of several internal signs at his business establishment.
With regards a liquor license, Mr. Jackson was again advised that the State, not
City, issued liquor licenses.
With regards to lot mowing, Mr. Jackson again opined that inasmuch as he personally
cut his vacant property when notice was received from the City, he felt the lot
mowing charges were unjustified. It was the consensus of Council that inasmuch
as the lot was found in need of mowing when the city's contractor cut same, the
charges were justified.
With regards several interior electrical signs that he was instructed to remove
due to safety hazards wherein he stated that the signs were not activated in an
effort to reduce electrical costs, Mayor ProTem Byrd referred the matter to the
City Manager Tiffany.
Councilman Cole inquired of sufficient off-street parking at Dot's Cafe inasmuch
as this was an existing hazardous condition, and if a liquor license was obtained
it would cause an influx of more traffic, Mr. Jackson replied he was aware of the
situation and would cooperate with the City to alleviate same.

FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Police Station Renovations
DATE: July 21, 1978
At your June 13 meeting you authorized me to negotiate with a
contractor to do the proposed remodeling work to convert unneeded jail
space at the Police Station to much needed offices.
Attached is a revised cost estimate from the architect giving
the estimated total cost of the work to be $18,325 based on a negotiated
contract. However, we may delete some cabinet work to hold the cost lower
than the estimate.
Also attached is a proposed contract with George Powell who will
supervise the work as stated in the agreement. The City would provide labor
and materials with Mr. Powell providing supervision and assistance in obtaining
labor, materials, and subcontractors.
This work is a serious need. It has our highest priority. I
recommend that the Council accept this agreement and authorize the work to
proceed immediately.

Gentlemen:
Having posted the necessary $25.00 appeal fee with the City Clerk, I hereby make

The reason given by the Building Official for the decision in refusing to issue a
building permit is:
Four Foot height in front yards is maximum height.
Requesting five feet on all perimeter lines,
(The S1 of Lot 95 P, All of Lot 96 were omitted from previous variance
thru error of the Building Contractor.N-'s of 92 f, Lot 91 were acquired later
My appeal to your Board is based on my contentidn that this decision creates a
hardship on me for the following reason, or reasons:
My employment and prior law enforcement background has
caused problems for me in past locations, and this
request is for personal security.
Seven (7) copies of all necessary floor plans, plot plans, and other pertinent infor-

I submit that I qualify for this variance because I have an exceptional and unique
hardship on my particular parcel of land that is not shared by property owners in my area.
A strict application of the zoning ordinance deprives me of the reasonable use of my land
and the granting of this variance will not alter the essential character of the area.
I have been notified that this Variance Application must be filed with the City Clerk
no later than 5:00 P.M. on Friday, two (2) weeks prior to the Council meeting at which time
Variance will be considered. I also understand that when any variance is granted, construction

fromThe

find that this arrangement, dictated by the large service counter, is inefficient
for our purpose.
We propose to replace the old service counter with one that has two
built-in desks to reduce disruption of clerical work, to allow the Administrative
Secretary to be inside the counter, and to control traffic into the Building
Official's and other offices. The new counter would increase our useable space
and allow a more efficient office arrangement. It would be well worth the price,
and must be done before interior redecorating. - -
We have received two proposals to build the new service counter:
Gene Hogue $1175 3 weeks
Kirkland's $1250 4 weeks
I recommend that the low quotation from Gene Hogue be accepted.

FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Alarm System
DATE: July 19, 1978
Five proposals were received from alarm service companies for a
central alarm monitoring system at the Police Station. Chief Tyndal investi-
gated the proposals and summarized his findings on the attached memo.
Note that two of the five firms are not UL certified companies. It
is important that we have a UL approved company and system to satisfy bank alarm
requirements.
The top two firms are Electro-Protective of Orlando and Protective
Alarms of Melbourne. The following is a summary of the charges in their proposals
(there are no charges to the City):
Electro-Protective Protective
Transfer (for existing systems) �a 0--- 30
Installation (for new system) 60 45
Annual fee 84 84
Rates guaranteed for 5 yrs. 2 yrs.
We consider these fees to be essentially the same, with Electro-Protective
giving a break to existing systems that would be made up from slightly higher ins-
tallation fees for new systems.
Both firms have a good reputation and are capable of providing good
serivice. However, we feel that Electro-Protective has a slight advantage in being
owned by a financially stable national firm with a good reputation, by having more
Lake County and local service, and by having 5 year guaranteed rates.
I recommend that you accept the attached proposal from Electro-Protective
Corporation.

Subj: Bids for Installing Alarm Systemn in the Police Department
Date: July 18, 1978
Because Insurance Companies racognirre certain Alarm system Companies, we first contacted
Mr. Axel olivenbaum as asked him which of the five companies submitting bids were listed
in the Insurance Services offices manual as approved companies. Mr. Olivenbaum stated
that three of the submitting companies, Electro Protective Corp, protective Alarms,
Inc.
and Mosler Safe Co. were all listed as having Underwriters Laboratory approval.
This approval by the Insurance Companies simply means that the company agrees to properly
maintain all installed systems on a regular basis and is licensed to issue a Certificate
so stating.
We, therefore, concentrated on the three listed companies.
1. Protective Alarms, Inc.
--- 2, Electro Protective Corp. ..
3. Mosler Safe Co.
We eliminated the Mosler Safe Company as their cost was much higher than the other two.
We then checked references given for both the other two companies for respond time to
maintenance problems, ease of operation of the system and what type and how many
complaints are received.
Protective Alarms, Inc.
City of Palm Bay Police Department
The telephone number listed on the bid was incorrect. After obtaining the correct number,
we spoke to Kathy Gantz, Secretary to the Chief of Police.
She advised that the company responded immediately to maintenance calls and that the system
was easy to operate. Their only complaint were with customers who failed to properly
monitor their own systems, resulting in false alarms.
City of Groveland Police Department
Chief Merrill is -very satisfied with the performance of the system in his office. He
said the system is easy to operate -:and maintenance is not a problem.
City of Melbourne Police Department
In speaking to officer Jones of the Department, he advised that the system installed
in their Police Department was not Protective Alarms, Inc., but rather Electro Protective,
Corp. (See comments listed under Electro Protective Corp.)
Elactro Protective Corp..
City of Eustis Police Department
Speaking to Chief Burrows, he advised that the Police Department is very happy with the
system. They have no maintanence problems, the system is easy to operate and there are
no complaints from the subscribers. Chief Burrows highly recommends the system.
City of Melbourne Police Department
officer Jones stated that there are two units in their Police Department. Each unit holds
84 connections. The Department is pleased with the service they are provided, the units
are simple to operate and the subscribers are satisfied.
City of Leesburg Police Department
Chief Perry indicated that the main problem with the system (as with any such system) is
false alarms caused by electrical storms. otherwise, he is pleased with the system, fools
that it is easy to operate and the subscribers are satisfied with the service.
For our current subscribers, Protective Alarms, Inc. would charge a transfer fee of
$30.00 each with an annual fee of $84.00. Electro Protective Corp. would have no transfer
fee and their annual charge is also $84.00. For new customers, Protective Alarms, Inc.
would have an installation charge of $45.00 with an annual charge of $90.00. Electra
Protective Corp. would charge a $60.00 connection fee and an annual charge of $84.00 to--'- new customers. Protective Alarms, Inc. proposes to increase their rates based on any
increase in the Consumer Price Index after two years. Electro Protective Corp. would
keep the same rate for five years.
Protective Alarms, Inc. is a local Florida company while Electra Protective Corp. is a
nationwide company.
Also, in discussing the various companies now in the Clermont Police Department with
Dispatcher Doris Bishop, she advises that Electra Protective Corp. is the most prompt
with service.

Dear Sir;
Electro-Protective proposes to install and maintain a 50
zone alarm receiving panel. The receiving system is U. L.
Listed for fire and burglary.
The system can be installed in approximately four days after
authorization. The display which is 15" wide, 421 high and
2" deep would be installed at the dispatchers location and
the main control would be installed remote. Operation of the
unit is uniquely simple. There is one button to silence .the
complete panel and one button to test the complete panel. It
will have a sixty hour rechargeable standby as required for
fire. Installation will be completely coordinated with the
subscribers or other alarm companies so none will be out of
service.
Electro-Protective operates the only U. L. Listed and F. M.
approved Central Station in Central Florida. All dispatching
is done from our Orlando office by radio (300 watt base 100
watt mobile) or telephone. Our Central Station is a 24 hour
operation and service on the receiving panel would be within
four hours. We feel four hours is an extreme but have found
that some take as long as 2 to 3 days.
To transfer those existing subscribers, there would be an
annual service charge of $84.00. To connect new subscribers,
there would be a $60.00 connection fee and $84.00 annually
for service. The receiving system would be inspected monthly
for operation. This rate would be guaranteed for a five year
period.

Electro-Protective presently has the mini -mac receiver
installed at Winter Garden, Melbourne (2), Sanford (2)
Eustis, Kissimmee, Leesburg Police Departments. We also
have other types installed in numerous cities and counties
such as New Smyrna, St. Cloud, Lake County, Wildwood, Cocoa,
Ocoee and Winter Park.
Electro Protective is an equal opportunity employer and is
wholly owned by Electro-Protective Corporation of America
which is based in Parsippany, New Jersey. We would be
willing to provide a performance bond if required.
If there are any points not covered or there are any questions,
please do not hesitate to call on me, or it you would like I
will personally attend a meeting.
Very truly yours,
ELECTRO-PROTECTIVE CORPORATION

SUBJECT: Chapter 22 - Taxicabs
DATE: July 18, 1978
As part of our code revision work we have studied Chapter 22,
"Taxicabs and Vehicles for Hire". These regulations are badly outdated.
There are no taxi operators licensed in Clermont now. Several
months ago a taxi operator inquired about beginning service here. We gave
his a copy of our regulations, and he did not return.
I suggest that Chapter 22 be repealed entirely, thus deregulating
the business until regulations are needed. Then you could pass minimum
regulations that are necessary.
